History

Native American name. The residents of this community formerly lived at Chenega on Chenega Island, but were forced to relocate to Crab Bay on Evans Island in the years following the 1964 Alaska earthquake. In 1998, the BGN approved a proposal to change the name of the community of Crab Bay to Chenega Bay.
